Sinopsis

áAlthough it is one of the smaller counties, Buckinghamshire has a potentáidentity, with the Chiltern Hills, steep roads going down throughábeechwoods and the blue distances of Aylesbury Vale.ááIt is historic,áwith plenty of Oliver CromwelláandáRoyalist connections. Itsápubs areáold and beamed and are welcoming.ááItsávillages are beautiful but not sugary, with their perfect churches and vernacular buildings made with flint and red brick,often thatched, to stone villages at the north close to Northamptonshire, and west on the borders of Oxfordshire. There are someáthrivingásmall and large county towns: Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Milton Keynes. áNew build is everywhere, tucked in at the back of villages, with closes and drives and courts wherever there ¡s space to build them. In the main, it is not a poor county, andáIâÇÖd say it is an enjoyable one. It is also conveniently close to London. The Grand Union Canal cuts right down from north to south and you might think, being middle England with no coastline, there would be no sailing, but amazingly there are several sailing clubs, not just at the Thames at the south, but at lakes and rivers at the north near Milton Keynes. In fact, in such areas it might be wise to check the flood history if youâÇÖre thinking of moving there.áJanet BarberááJanet Barber has published a number of childrenâÇÖs books and adult craft books and part works, as well as working as a journalist for national newspapers and magazines, most recently specialising in public sector journalism.
